Ilya Denisov, also known as Ilya Stallone, has unveiled a fascinating project titled “Medieval Branding,” where he reimagines famous modern logos with a medieval flair. A Russian graphic designer, Ilya drew inspiration for this series during a trip to Belarus, where he visited several ancient castles. The historic ambiance sparked his creativity, leading him to merge his passion for design with the intriguing aesthetics of the Middle Ages.
In his “Medieval Branding” series, Ilya transforms recognizable modern brands into medieval versions. From Instagram to YouTube and even Burger King, these reimagined logos bring a historical twist to familiar icons. For example, McDonald’s iconic Golden Arches are humorously reworked into a medieval motif featuring a clown in a rather unorthodox pose.
Ilya Denisov recently showcased these medieval logo redesigns on social media under his professional alias, Ilya Stallone. These creative reinterpretations gently poke fun at contemporary brands while offering a whimsical glimpse into what they might have looked like in a bygone era.
